Where are the $4 brushes

[kelso]

I have seen some of the debate over PMA vs. stock charging system. Some of the guys have said that at $4 for brushes that is an easy fix so they just stick with the stock setup. I can't remember where I read that or I'd just send a PM. I have looked for the brushes and can't find anywhere close to that. Where are you guys getting them at that price?

They are making their own by filing down larger applications.

Thanks Tonyc, hopefully someone will give a rundown on that process.

Sears carries brushes, as stated some fitting (file work) may be required

Thanks Broc. I am not sure that I even need a set but I have 97% of what I need to start putting this thing together and when I thought they were $4 I thought I'd just pick up a set so that i didn't get stuck if mine are bad. Why aren't you using the ones you have, did you go with a PMA? I'll give you a shout if mine crap out I guess.

Here's the episode where some guy makes brushes for $1.98 each. He has pictures.
